Avocado and Tomato Salad

I have decided that I could easily spend a year cooking just from my archives. No new recipes – just remaking the old. I actually even considered taking a month this year to do just that. I ultimately decided against it because there are so many new recipes I want to make as well, but it’s still very tempting. I have so many gems that I made 4, 5, 6 years ago. That is the only downfall of being someone that is addicted to trying new recipes – I often have to force myself to go back and cook things that I’ve made before and loved.

This recipe is actually one that I made first back in 2008, alongside these Steaks with Mexican Spices and Chile Con Queso. This Avocado and Tomato Salad is the definition of simple – which is why it’s so good. I love when you can take so few ingredients and turn it into something so delicious and packed with flavor. And even though it’s April, and super flavorful, in-season tomatoes are no where to be found, this salad still packs a punch. You can bet that I’ll be making this all summer long when the local tomatoes start showing up.

So whether you need a salad for a pot luck, or just for your weeknight dinner plans, this Avocado and Tomato Salad is your answer!

Thanks for sharing. I saw a recipe Avocado and hard boiled egg salad, I don’t like the salad cream they added in, thinking to add in Vinaigrette Dressing . Glad to see your recipe. I will dice some hard boiled eggs, the same size as the Avocado and tomato.

This salad is as old as time. It’s a classic combination, except mine always includes lettuce. What I like about it is that it takes well to any dressing you prefer, from creamy ranch to vinaigrette. It’s the perfect accompaniment to EVERYTHING from grilled steaks, chops, chicken & fish to enchiladas and quesadillas! Add hard boiled egg and baby shrimp and you’ve got a lovely dinner salad. And if you’re doing the low-carb thing, a big bowl of this salad alongside a serving of protein and you’ll never feel deprived. Delicious.

The type doesn’t necessarily matter – you’ll just want a tomato that is full of flavor. This time of year is harder, because they aren’t in season, so I usually have the best luck with romas. But during the summer, any in-season, ripe tomato should work.

Definitely your avocado and tomato salad is awesomeness! This is a great recipe Deborah, as you know I made it a short while ago and it was lovely, in fact have made it again since. Thanks for sharing!
